Due to external circumstances that are entirely out of our control, we are disappointed to announce that our Whiskey Media Roku Channel is dead. There will be no further development on the new 2.0 version, and it will never be released.

We are still very proud of all of the hard work that went into this project. Our Whiskey Media channel would have been the very best thing on the Roku, and it is both sad and unfortunate that it will never see the light of day.

We’d like to sincerely thank all of our users and beta testers, and hope that they have enjoyed using our products.

As a matter of fact, Whiskey Media as a whole has been doing an absolutely amazing job of getting the word out. First of all, there’s been a good amount of Roku talk on their official Twitter account, as well as on specific staffers’ accounts.

The new website also contains the statistic #1 most followed independent Roku channel!

The webpage for the recently announced Giant Bomb World Tour mentions the Roku channel as a paid member benefit.

This is all ramping up to the big, huge update to the Whiskey Media Roku channel that’s coming soon. Hopefully real soon. Stay tuned!

After months of public availability in the Roku Channel Store, Roku has finally added the Whiskey Media channel to their official website, located under the “All” section of their “What’s On” page.

When I compare the forthcoming update to what’s currently available in the Roku Channel Store, I can’t believe how much it has progressed. I’m really happy with the way it’s turning out, and I hope that current users will be surprised and delighted by this update.
